Personalized lung cancer care – along the entire care pathway

Lung cancer is one of the most common cancers worldwide. For most people, a lung cancer diagnosis is the start of journey into the unknown. As a medical professional you want to provide support and direction along the route. And our integrated cancer care approach helps you do just that. With technology, software and remote care solutions for screening, diagnosis, treatment and follow-up, Philips provides the tools you need to support your patient at every turn.

Toward a model of personalized medicine

Cancer incidence and related healthcare costs continue to grow. There is a big need to diagnose and treat patients in efficient settings with a focus on the best care. The key? You must combine using the best imaging and therapy capabilities, patient experience and lowest cost with the goal to improve patient outcomes.

We help make this possible with tools and services for accurate first time right decision-making imaging, fast supporting right decision-making tools and enable targeted, patient-specific therapy. With Philips, the future of personalized oncology is within your reach.

Recent Trends

Rising threat

In 2008, cancer counted for 7.6 million deaths around the world. By 2030, this is projected to exceed 13.1 million.

Economic drain

Cancer has the most devastating economic impact of any cause of death worldwide - €662 billion in 2008 (not including direct costs of treating cancer). That’s 1.5% of global GDP.

Confident diagnosis

The challenge

Cancer care is moving towards optimal, personalized treatment choices that are tailored to individual patients. All of the information from disciplines in cancer diagnostics and genomics come together to inform the decisions made by cancer specialists during the diagnostic phase. Digitization of healthcare enables all diagnostic data (from radiology, pathology and in-vitro diagnostic tests) becoming available in a digital form.
